DHCP not assigning DNS

[Christine Niblo]

Hi. I am running a Windows 2003 Server as DC, DNS and DHCP. Initially, everything was peachy, but lately clients have not been able to access the Internet and it turns out that they were not being assigned the DNS IP (I did ipconfig/ all and nothing was listed for DNS). Can anyone offer some advice as to why this is happening? For now, I have statically assigned the DNS server, but I'd like it to work properly through DHCP.

Thanks!
Chrissie

What do you have for DHCP scope option 006?
